Inside the Gate
Back Home
You offer the gatekeeper a mint:
"Oh, lovely," he says, "toss them over here then."
So you attempt to toss the mints through the gap in the drawbridge to the gatekeeper, but are hampered by your housemaid's knee (you brought it along for luck) and the mints fall short, into the moat.
"Humph." says the gatekeeper, and shuts the drawbridge in disgust at your lack of throwing skills.
Just as you turn away and give up, however, the dodgy chemicals in the cheap foreign mints react violently with the slime in the moat, causing a frothing akin to a washing up liquid froth. This is obviously no ordinary cleaning froth, however, as it strips away the entire drawbridge from it's hinges, and then skins the gatekeeper alive, his dying screams gnawing your very soul, leaving his bones rattling on the ground. The foam then settles back down and solidifies, giving you a handy bridge into the castle.
"Oh, fair enough." you comment and pass through the gates.
Inside the castle you see, to your great horror, a beast of such slavering magnitude that it couldn't possibly be reproduced by such an amateur artist as the one illustrating this quest, so instead you focus on the dog-like being stood next to it, (pictured right) which is nearly as vicious and blocking your way.Unwilling to walk too near it, as it's eyes bore through your armour, you realise it isn't staring at you, it's staring at something behind you.
That's right, he's staring at a 'Doggio' biscuit, abandoned on the floor behind you. (Pictured left, surrounded by all sorts of arcane symbols). Obviously someone intended to give it to the dog but dropped it, leaving poor doggy very hungry. You have to get past this dog to continue, just what do you do?
